Current mood: accomplished
YAY! We found her baptism dress!!!! I was so scared we wouldn't find a nice dress for her since I am soooo picky when it comes to that sort of thing. I knew what I wanted in my head but I didn't think I could find something like that in person. I shopped all over the internet with no success. Then luckily Mia's Tia Rebeca came to Mia's rescue. She suggested we try this one dress store across the street from Chula Vista Mall in San Diego. So off to San Diego we went.
It was unusally HOT this weekend so I dressed her in shorts. She seemed ok with the heat but wasn't her normal perky self. She sang and jibber jabbered in the car ride down there but refused to sleep. We found the store and there had to be like 100000000 dresses in there! not to mention kids were running around and screaming all over the place! They were jumping in and out of the dresses it was insane. The whole place was cramped and I didn't think we would have any luck there. Then we found the baptism dress side and just like that BOOM! I found the ultimate dress! It was EXACTLY like I wanted. It was long, white, had tiny embrodery at the bottom (similar to my wedding dress) big poofy sleeves and a cute little bonnet. We had Mia try on the dress over her clothes and she looked ADORABLE!!! I just melted. I knew right then it was the dress. So to treat Mia for being such a good girl in the store, Daddy put her on a little toy horsey to ride in the store. It was the kind that bounces up and down. She kind of liked it but we got the most kick out of it. After that little fun we bought the dress. The cashier fell in love with her too. Everyone seems to haha. Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Santos' house for a quick visit.
By then it was slowly cooling down but it was still really HOT! Mia played alittle, and showed off her walking skills (while assisted that is), but we could tell she was really uncomfortable, she didn't even want to eat her snackies and was downing water like crazy!, so we cut the visit short. Plus she was getting really tired too. Once we hit the road she only made it to the third signal light before she was knocked out and she slept most of the way.
When we got home I got her ready for bed but not before opening a package we got in the mail from her Grandpa and Grandma Pizano. It was her Easter basket!!! It had lots of baby treats in there including a bunny duck, bubbles, and all kinds of treats. Daddy blew some bubbles for her but she was so tired she really didn't care much. So we fed her her dinner bottle and off to bed she went.
Overall it was a fun day! I am so excited about the dress. I can't wait till May 17th her big day!!
